This decision must have evoked so much emotion and i know i cannot fathom it's depth. I can only say that you have added already so much value to the process and to our lives.

I believe the tide of TH will be before us all too, as you suspect and we can all take the joy of it together because i feel you are very much one of us in heart and soul.

I will wish you peace of mind in days to come and may it be ever fruitful on your road of inspired and creative ventures. ''Sam put his ragged orc-cloak under his master's head, and covered them both with the grey robe of Lorien; and as he did so his thoughts went out to that fair land, and to the Elves, and he hoped that the cloth woven by their hands might have some virtue to keep them hidden beyond all hope in this wilderness of fear...But their luck held, and for the rest of that day they met no living or moving thing; and when night fell they vanished into the darkess of Mordor.'' - - -rotk, chapter III

May the grace of Manwë let us soar with eagle's wings! In the air, among the clouds in the sky Here is where the birds of Manwe fly Looking at the land, and the water that flows The true beauty of earth shows With the stars of Varda lighting my way In all the realms this is where I stay In the realm of Manwë Súlimo
